    there you go. but im pretty sure this is has nothing to do with me, other players tell this is happening to them too. also when this happens and i press ctrl + p and go to the "sim" tap, all numbers are frozen. but they still change on the other taps.

    Your DX-Diag looks fine. It's possibly a server crash- although that shouldn't happen for every game.

    First things first though, what type of maps are you playing on? Allot of the competitive players focus mainly on very small systems (1 or 2 planets) with a low number of players (e.g. 1 v 1, 2 v 2 etc). These games tend to go without a hitch and last in the region of 20 - 30 minutes.

    If however you prefer the large multi-planet systems, I've noticed in the latest version the SIM is very easy to bog down as the unit counts rise. There have been some comments on other threads where it's been established that moving very large groups of units (100+) can really hammer the server so this may be the problem. The other thing I've noted, planets with trees can also cause performance issues.

    I see it happen aswell.

    We play 5x2 games quite often. With this new patch, it constantly ends up in the server crashing. I guess we need to wait for another patch.

    I don't crash except under huge unit load now, however the CUI crashes are very...very...very game ending, and quite common, almost random, select a unit and suddenly coherent threads die and the game's pretty much over.
